What’s new
Ensuring Personnel Competency at All Levels
Evaluation of competency is expected for all laboratory testing personnel. This occurs at least twice in the first year that the individual is testing patient specimens and at least annually thereafter.
Temperature, Humidity, and Airflow in Your ASC Operating Rooms
Maintaining optimal temperature, humidity, and airflow in your ambulatory surgery center’s operating rooms isn’t just about comfort; it’s a critical measure to prevent infections, safeguard sterile fields, and ensure that equipment functions properly.
Avoiding Medical Record Errors in Office-Based Surgery Settings
Maintaining comprehensive medical records is essential to safe, high-quality care that meets accreditation standards and HIPAA requirements, and would serve as effective legal documentation, if needed.
